I am working on an eclipse RCP project which has added its own search dialog.

I would like to be able to find that dialog, pre-fill some of the fields (depending on selected items etc) and then open the dialog for the user to be able change settings before submitting the search.

Is this possible?

  • Which Search dialog - the 'Search > Search...' dialog with multiple tabs (which tab)? or the 'Find/Replace' dialog? – greg-449 Dec 18 '15 at 10:37
  • It would be the Search... dialog and I would want to pre-select and fill the search tab which my app provides – paul Dec 18 '15 at 10:44

You can use:

NewSearchUI.openSearchDialog(window, "page id");

to open the search dialog with the given page active. window is the active IWorkbenchWindow.

I don't see any standard way to initialize the page fields.

NewSearchUI is in package org.eclipse.search.ui in the org.eclipse.search plugin.
